This is one of Liane Moriarty's best books! I could not put it down. Imagine being on a flight and a woman walking down the aisle gives predictions about when each passenger on the flight would die. This was a fascinating premise and a winner in my eyes.

Thank you, NetGalley, for an advanced copy of this book!

This book tugged on every single one of my anxieties, to be honestly I should have put it down quite a few times. But I couldn’t. It hooked me. And in the end I’m glad I read it.

Truly torn between the four and five star rating. While this felt very surface (albeit, very fun!) at the beginning, the story evolves into a beautiful, interwoven tale of lives all affected by one fateful moment. You can always rely on Moriarty for an escape that is well-written and thoughtful. This one really made me think and reflect! For fans of The Measure. Thank you to Moriarty, Crown Publishing, and NetGalley for the ARC!

Passengers board a typical short flight that experiences some delays. No one is happy about the delays and tensions are high when suddenly a woman rises from her seats and predicts everyone’s age of death and cause of death. When the flight finally takes off and lands at their destination, no one is the same as they were before the flight. And the lady predicting the deaths? Who is she?

Thank you, Crown Publishing and Liane Moriarty, for gifting me an ebook copy of this novel in exchange for a fair and honest review. All thoughts here are mine.

I was really unsure about what this book was going to be about, but I can tell you that I greatly enjoyed reading it! On The StoryGraph and Goodreads, the genre is listed as thriller, but I consider this book contemporary fiction. There is an air of mystery, but thriller is the wrong term.

An aspect of this book that I really liked was the multiple point-of-views. There were several characters that were followed and I was fully invested in each of their lives. I definitely recommend this to everyone as I can see it becoming a must-read. The themes and heavy topics discussed in this book, such as grief, life, and death, are part of reality and important for people to read and give thought to.

For me, Liane Moriarty does it again! The plot reminds me of “The Measure” in that the characters learn when (and in Moriarty’s case also how) they will die, but I much prefer Moriarty’s spin on it. The middle did lag a bit for me and it felt like Cherry’s chapters happened too frequently, but in the end I did appreciate getting more insight into her character.

Having read (and loved) this author's entire catalog, I had high hopes for this book. As always, Moriarty shines at character development and helping the reader feel like they know the characters and understand their motivations. It's an engaging premise that most can relate to on some level, but I feel like the execution fell a little short. I can't pinpoint what could have been done differently, but can say that there's something missing in the final chapters. 3.5 stars.

Another great read from Liane Moriarty! Would you want to know how and when you would die? Not me! On a short plane ride in Australia, a lady suddenly starts predicting everyone’s cause and age if death. Is the so called death lady’s psychic or is it all bunk? I loved getting to know the cast of characters including Cherry herself! Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the digital ARC!

I really loved Big Little Lies, The Husband's Secret, and What Alice Forgot, but I've found that Liane Moriarty's past few books are just waaaay too long for my taste and could be cut down by ~100-200 pages. While I really enjoyed the premise of Here One Moment, I had the same issue and thought it could've been shorter. I love mysteries on planes (i.e., my love of Lost and Manifest), so I was super excited when I read the description for this book! But the ending fell a little flat for me, and I was way more invested in the chapters focusing around the "dying" characters than those centered around Cherry the psychic death lady.

Thank you to NetGalley and Crown Publishing for sending me this book!

This was intriguing but too unsettling. The scenes on the plane about foretelling passengers' death dates went overboard and was so drawn out. The concept was hit very quickly and I felt the author was hitting it too hard to be interesting, more annoying. I didn't like any of the characters and the entire book was a wash for me.

Thank you to Crown Publishing for the advanced copy of this book.

Wow. This was a story. I could have finished it quickly, but decided not to. I didn’t want it to end. I’m still thinking about all of the characters.

Moriarty did a good job vividly capturing the details of each of their lives.

On the surface, the premise seems silly: A woman aboard a flight walks down the center aisle predicting the age and cause of death for each passenger on board. But once I started reading, I realized that the “psychic on a plane,” isn’t a bit. Instead, it’s a cleverly disguised device that compels us to take stock of the people around us, the ways in which our lives intersect with one another, and the roles that those intersections play in our present and future selves.

Moriarty leaves you knowing that all of us, whether we are on a plane, or standing in the line at the grocery store, or honking our horn at the car in front of us because they didn’t floor it at a newly-turned green light. All of us are trying to cope with the idea that one day, maybe tomorrow, or tonight, or in the next three minutes, we will die. And knowing this is only made worse by the fact, that we never know when it’s coming.

How would you live differently if you knew your age of death and cause of death? I was intrigued by the premise of this book, and the themes of fate, free will, and how one seemingly insignificant event can drastically change the trajectory of one's life. It reminded me of The Measure, though I might prefer this one slightly since I enjoyed the author's writing style and humor, particularly with lines like "He's been in a permanent state of embarrassment since he was five."

I enjoyed following each of the six passengers: Leo, Ethan, Paula, Sue, Eve, and Allegra as they received ominous premonitions from Cherry and dealt with the aftermath. However, I wish there had been more focus on the passengers instead of on Cherry's life. Getting to know how Cherry ended up predicting deaths on a flight was somewhat interesting, but her chapters weren't very engaging and didn't add much to the story.

I was rather let down when it was revealed that Cherry had a mental health crisis on the flight while grieving her husband and closest friends and her predictions didn't have any merit apart from statistics she may have picked up from working as an actuary. I'm not exactly sure what kind of ending I was hoping for, but it left me wanting more.

This book definitely kept my attention! What an interesting plot line. It was unlike anything I’ve read before. I wanted to know more with every chapter. I’d definitely read this again!

I'm not at all surprised that this is one of the best books I've read so far this year. Liane Moriarty is a literary genius. She keeps me on the edge of my seat, thinking about the book long after I've put it down and wanting to get back to it as soon as possible. When I finish a Moriarty book, I continue to think about the characters and their situations. They all feel so real. I was captivated by the airplane scene at the opening of the book. It grabbed me by the throat. A mom being told her child would die at age 7? A honeymooning couple being told the wife would die by domestic violence? Terrifying. I felt like I was on board a speeding train as the book continued. Cherry's story was a fascinating interlude between each character living out their "destiny" she predicted. I couldn't wait to see what happened next.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for the opportunity to read this ARC.

This book left me in tears because my heart was so full. The characters in the story were so well developed and their stories relatable and heart wrenching at times. I found myself eager for an explanation to the “mystery” in the story, and it all came together in a truly lovely way. Although it’s a bit of a slow burn, I enjoyed every minute. Read this one!

This book wasn’t as infuriating as “Apples Never Fall” and that ending, but reading what could have been a much shorter book and then that end was frustrating. I also wished the chapters focused more on the characters.

Another masterpiece from Liane Moriarty. I had so many emotions reading this book. It was such a fun read and the concept was brilliant—fortune telling, butterfly effect, or chance!? So many moving parts that worked perfectly together. I loved that there were multiple stories happening, including the background for our “Death Lady”.

One of my favorite parts:
“ I still think that, sometimes, even though I know full well I am exemplifying the just-world fallacy, which is the erroneous belief that the world is fair. We are socialized to think that. It makes the world feel more predictable if we believe good behavior is rewarded and bad behavior punished. The problem is that we then subconsciously believe people who suffer must deserve it.”…

Thank you to NetGalley, Crown Publishing, and Liane Moriarty for the ARC.

The whole time I was reading this, I kept thinking "how is this going to end?" And I have to say, while I was surprised by it, It did not disappoint.

Thank you to NetGalley and Crown Publishing for an advanced copy of this captivating book.

What if you were told how and when you were going to die? Would you try to change fate?
A woman known as "The Death Lady" was on a plane telling the passengers the cause of death, age of death. As she made her way around predicting death, the passengers on the plane thought she was crazy. Until, the deaths start happening just as she has predicted.

This book is told in multiple POV's ranging from the death lady through the passengers. In the beginning it was a bit hard to follow, but once I figured out who was who, I fell in love with this story. It kept me intrigued. I spent the entire time wondering what was going to happen. I definitely recommend this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I was immediately drawn in to Liane Moriartys latest.Her writing and storytelling is always original and involving.Perfect summer reading.#netgalley #crownpublishers

This book was listed as mystery and thriller and for me it didn't fit the bill for either. You are on a plane and it gets delayed. The passengers start to get anxious and wonder when they will finally reach their destination. This has a slow pace with a lot of characters and back stories which felt like filler. Nothing really excited happened to get you invested.

Before the plane lands a female passenger tells other passengers on the flight how they are going to die and at what age. One mother is shocked when she tells her that her son will die young. The passengers aren't sure if she is psychic or delusional but they are worried about her predictions.

Then a few months later a passenger dies exactly how she had predicted. The nickname her the Death Lady.

I liked the question would you live life differently if you knew the end was near?

Thank you NetGalley and Crown Publishing for this e-arc.

Here One Moment by Liane Moriarty was such a good book! It is a very new and interesting concept in which a plane is delayed, and all the passengers on the plane get their fortunes told to them by one passenger. The teller is a lady who tells everyone their age of death and cause of death. Some passengers get happy news and hear they will live a long while, but what of those who are told that they have only a short time?


This book is not a thriller, but more of a mystery. It is a very compelling story and difficult to put down. However, there are some parts that drag on a bit. Sometimes Moriarty’s paragraphs ramble on for too long. Overall, the book could be a lot shorter and not suffer, but this is typical with Liane Moriarty she likes to add detail.


This book has many characters to follow and sometimes this can be overwhelming. Each character has a backstory and quite a bit of depth, which is impressive considering how many characters there are. Sometimes it goes many chapters between hearing about what happens next to a character that I sometimes forget who they were and what they had going. It was slightly difficult to connect with many of the characters because of this. Moriarty ties all these stories together at the end and the ending is satisfying and well done. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Literature-Fiction with mystery. It’s such a unique concept that I was intrigued.


Thank you Netgalley, and Crown Publishing for allowing me to read this book early in exchange for an honest review.
